my favorite psalm

​I have a favorite Psalm.  It’s not the longest (Psalm 119:1- 176) or the shortest (Psalm 117:1-2) but it is very positive.  I like it because it shifts our attention from our own condition and situation to God’s goodness and righteousness.  It is truly worshipful.  What is it?  It has one major characteristic: It’s the second person possessive adjective “YOUR”.  It has that word in its 21 verses, 17 times.  The Psalm focuses the attention off the person praising to the One being praised, hence the YOUR focus. What is the Psalm?  Psalm 145:1-21 (hint, hover your cursor over the reference and it will pop up).  Take the time to read it.  He’s good!  He’s always full of mercy.  It’s a great practice to go first to this Psalm and pray yourself happy that your good God has been watching over you and will continue to do so.  It’s His name we bless! It’s His works that will be conveyed from one generation to another. I love the final commitment on the part of the worshipper. (Ps 145:21)  “My mouth will declare the LORD’s praise; let every living thing bless his holy name forever and ever.” Praise God!
